Hanukoglu, an award-winning researcher, is a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology in the Department of Molecular Biology at Ariel University Center of Samaria in Ariel, Israel.

The professor established the first version of his website during his tenure as Netanyahu’s science adviser. The site has evolved into “the premier science and technology portal for Israel.”

The website says that the White House’s release of the Obama document in April 2011, after years of controversy, “raised in our minds the possibility that there could be something suspicious about the information available on this document.”

The website conducted an independent analysis and cites others who came to the same conclusion.

The website says the publication “of such a blatantly fake document about something so basic as the birthplace of Mr. Obama, should raise great concern about the suitability of the person who is holding the reigns on the most powerful country of the World.”

The missing ’1′

Utilizing the software program Foxit Reader version 4.3.1, the Israel Science and Technology website examined the PDF file posted by the White House April 27, 2011, and found that the last digit of the birth certificate’s number, 61 10841, disappears under 800-percent magnification.

Also, the font of the last digit is different from the other digits.

“This is only one example,” the Israelis concluded after examining the birth certificate number. “Many more examples can be discovered by examining magnified document with full page view of the document.”

Conclusion: “In brief, this simple analysis using just a viewing software reveals that the PDF document has been altered by a graphics software.”

I’m a “proofer”; rather than a “birthed”.

Maybe a nuance.

The difference is that I don’t pretend to know where the man was born. And, frankly, I don’t much care.

What I do care about is the obfuscation, forgery, and outright lying.

As President, like Caesar’s wife, must be above reproach.

For him to permit this nonsense to go on casts a pall over him.

If there was no certificate, just say so. If the records confused, just say so. If you don’t know, just say you don’t know.

Presenting a falsified document in your name makes the whole matter suspect.

This may be “smoke”, but when you add on the absolute lack of documentation about his travels, his school records, and all sorts of other documents, makes me think “fire”. The fake social security number is just the final nail in the coffin.

The only rational explanation I’ve heard is that he came in as a “foreign student”.

If it’s being a tin foil hat to call for an accounting, then I proudly claim that as a badge of honor.
